A Smoke Signal

I haven't updated my title corner of he blogosphere in so long. Partly because I feel like I have nothing worthwhile to share and also because I'm increasingly frustrated with the look of Blogger templates. In an attempt to make this place look fresh and new I have gone and messed up my whole blog and hate how it looks. Le sigh.

I really want to start running this all the time again, but I'm just not very interesting. I'm not married or having a baby. I don't make crafts or cook/bake new recipes constantly enough. I'm not upwardly fashionable or organized. I don't take photographs or make art or do anything intellectually stimulating that is worth blogging about. I'm just a 22 year old college student being swallowed up by homework and organizations and thinking ahead. A bit of an amateur cook/baker who aspires to be crafty and diy-y. I don't have a niche, just my thoughts and things to share that I enjoy.

I feel like that's how I am in real life though. No one interesting, someone people overlook. Everyone I know is so involved in their own lives and milestones that I can't help but feel like an after thought. It's very petty for me to feel this way, I know, but it's something that creeps up from time to time. I have friends that are married, engaged, starting careers, involved with new people, etc... They don't all take the initiative to hang out or talk and I feel like I do a lot of the work. I guess at 22 it's better to start zeroing in on who is worth having in your life anyway.

But, forget all of that. Negative nonsense is just that, nonsense.

If you know of a good place to find simple, clean, looking templates let me know! I'd love to fix this asap. Now I'm off for a long night of adjusting schedules, going to meetings, playing with puppies, and attempting to get some sleep.

This is an EMERGENCY!

Ok, it's not really a real emergency, more of a fashion emergency I suppose. I buy leggings quite often and everytime I do I manage to get a hole in them or wear them down fairly quickly because I wear them so much (mostly because I can only wear black pants or dresses for work, so leggings and a tunic are quick and easy for me to put on at 6:30 in the morning). I also wear them with long shirts and sometimes even with hoodies on chilly days. Because of this I go through leggings at lightning speed. Case in point, the leggings I am wearing today. I somehow managed to put a nice little hole in them with one of my rings which I didn't even think would be possible seeing as that is more common with tights.

Anywho, the question. Where can I get some fairly cheap, but lasting leggings?! The ones from H&M and Forever 21 don't seem to be very well made, and when you pay $6 or less for them I suppose you get what you pay for. So, does anyone know where to get good leggings that will last and not tear and the tiniest pull?

A question

I'm facing a minor dillemma as to what to do for my boyfriend for Valentine's Day. In all honesty I've never really even had a valentine to do anything for or with, so I'm a little out of the loop and scraping for ideas.

Help me?!?!!?!

HELP!

Major dillema.......I don't know what color to dye my hair this time. Really, this is a super important decision in my month and not having my mind made up yet is unsettling. Well, maybe it isn't super important but I need help deciding. I am pretty sure I'm done with being blonde, for the time being, and now I'm stuck between going red or going brunette. Here are some examples...

red ala

Nicole Kidman

Christina Hendricks

Ashley Simpson

or brunette ala

Mandy Moore

Scarlett Johansson

     Jennifer Garner

Now, I'm sure you see my dillema here as I am a very indecisive person. I have been both a redhead and a brunette in the past but making decisions is not my strong point. Therefore, some input would be lovely!
